To maintain ‘certified’ status, a coach must complete Professional Development (PD) Points within a five year cycle. Tracking of PD points begins January 1, following certification.

Competitive coaches are required to complete their points to maintain deck eligibility for competitions as per CAS’s Coach Registration and Certification Policy. Section VIII B 2: Coaches ‘……have two calendar years from the completion of their Competition Introduction module 1-8 course to complete their certification, after which they will not be permitted on the deck at any PTSO hosted competition’. A coaches status will change from ‘certified’ to not-renewed’ when PD points are not completed, rendering them not certified and inelgible to be on deck at competitions. For national competitions please read section VIII CAS Hosted competitions.

It is a coach’s responsibility to stay on top of PD points. 

Alberta Artistic Swimming will offer occasional sport specific and/or non-sport specific opportunities. Points are earned based on the parameters set out by the CAC and CAS. If you are attending, or have attended, something not delivered by AAS, CAS or CAC you can self report these in your Locker profile, under the certification page.

REMEMBER: You self-report one point per year as an active coach. Points must be recorded annually through the self report process on your Locker profile.

Since most non-NCCP learning opportunities are offered through other organizations, AAS will do its best to provide information and links on the Coach Courses page for your convenience. If you know any opportunities that you would like to pass along, please send the information using the contact us form below. ‘…have two calendar years from the completion of their Competition Introduction module 1-8 course to complete their certification, after which they will not be permitted on the deck at any PTSO hosted competition
